Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me find out a little more about this Iver Johnson's 5 shot pistol I just picked up. The Serial Number is C302XX. On the bottom of the grip it has the patent dates of: June 16 96, then Aug XX (worn off), Sept 16 04 then it has patents pending written after. It also has the double posts up top at the break latch. I'd appreciate any info anyone could give me, thanks!
Sorry about that, Im still getting used to the rules of this forum. I cant post any pictures because my camera is busted. I'm really just trying to find out what year it was made, if its a .38 or a .32, and if it is a black powder only. As far as the appearance goes, the bluing has turned brown. Under the right grip there is a 5 stamped. under the trigger guard the number 30341. if theres anything else you guys need just let me know. thanks again!
Serial number sequence C8901 thru C35900 on the Large Frame Hammer, 38S&W in 1910. The patent dates you listed helps to confirm this date. It is with in the smokeless powder range. Hope that helps.
Thanks for clearing this up for me! I think I'm going to have to take this out to the range this week.
